Chapter 29: Encounter

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

“Sneak attack?”

Everyone was shocked, especially Fatima, who was in a defensive position. She rushed to Xu Fan’s side and smashed her shield on the ground, expanding into a large golden shield surface that enveloped everyone.

Ming Shu quickly pulled out her long sword and got into position. Chi Luo also slammed her staff into the ground and prepared to cast a spell.

“Little Fish, did you notice it just now?”

“I didn’t notice it. I predicted it.”

Little Fish also looked a little surprised. It was obvious that pulling Xu Fan was just her subconscious action. She did not expect to really avoid a bloody disaster.

Xu Fan nodded and frowned as he looked toward the direction of the attack.

“William, you missed.”

“I never miss a shot. It was this person who went astray.”

A comical conversation came from the crack in the wall, attracting the attention of Xu Fan and the others. Then, Chi Luo decided to go all out and directly summoned the Blood Awl to pierce through the empty space.

As the dust settled, a few blonde-haired, blue-eyed job changers followed closely behind. The leader of the people is quite rampant, but still not waiting for Xu Fan to open his mouth to question him, but the villain first complains:

“Where are you guys from? How dare you come to our territory to hunt?”

Territory? Xu Fan was amused when he heard this.

“This is a random instance dungeon. Everyone’s teleportation location is not fixed. How can you be so sure that this is your territory? Moreover, dividing territories in instance dungeons is something that doesn’t comply with the rules, right?”

Hearing this, the person opposite him was also quite disdainful. He chuckled and said: “I said that this is our territory, so naturally, this is it. Since you guys are farming our monsters in our territory, you should at least show some respect, right?”

“Heh, so overbearing?” Seeing that the other party was not polite at all, Xu Fan also raised his eyebrows. He did not have the slightest intention of retreating and replied in a tit-for-tat manner: “What, you want to fight here?”

“The terrain of the gold mine is extremely complicated. The interior is extremely dangerous, like a maze of death. Even if a few people died here, it would not be strange.” The leader of the group grinned and revealed an exceptionally strange smile. Then, he continued, “In any case, this instance dungeon will soon collapse. The people who came in this time will be buried here obediently.”

The instance dungeon collapsed? Xu Fan frowned. He had caught some important information from this guy’s words. Were these people planning to destroy this instance dungeon?

There were at least ten thousand people who came in this time. If the instance dungeon collapsed, it would be an unprecedented disaster.

This was no different from a terrorist attack! These people in front of him were not here to farm dungeons!

Xu Fan did not hesitate and immediately ordered: “Ming Shu Chi Luo, get ready!”

Hearing this, the leader of the other party maintained his smile and tilted his head.

Make a move? With just them? These little girls who were so fragile that they seemed to be unable to withstand the wind still wanted to attack them?

Although their expressions seemed very imposing, no matter how imposing they were, they were just a group of imposing flower vases.

As for them… They had all entered the dungeon with their levels, and each of them was firmly stuck at level 35.

Of course, just having a level was not enough. Compared to ordinary job changers, they had an even more important advantage. Every single one of them had undergone strict combat training and possessed a wealth of combat experience.

Immediately after, that guy waved his hand, and two black-robed guys behind him rushed forward. Then, the two of them attacked Chi Luo’s side again.

Correspondingly, the two artifact spirits also rushed out with their weapons and fought with them.

“Ming Shu, prioritize blocking the two sides of your back. Their leader is slower, so you just need to rely on your speed advantage to dodge.” Xu Fan stood behind Fatima, calmly analyzing the battlefield.

“Second Sister, stepping on the Lizhen and facing the Xunkan is a good sign.”

Little Fish gave him a hint, but Chi Luo, who was busy fighting with the two quick-attack killers, did not have time to think about what was called a Lizhen and what was called a Xunkan.

“It’s standing southwest and facing northeast. Using this direction to build a defensive counterattack can effectively reduce your pressure.” Xu Fan gave an explanation in time, but the reason for his conclusion was obviously different from Little Fish’s.

The place where Chi Luo was located was relatively low, and the surroundings were relatively narrow. The southeast direction was the only empty place. As long as she moved in that direction while fighting, she would be able to greatly restrict the two assassins who were constantly moving around with their speed advantage.

As for how Little Fish knew about this, it was very simple. Just look at the eight trigrams in her hand.

After receiving the notification, Chi Luo quickly turned around and retreated to a corner.

Finally, because the difference in speed was made up by the terrain, she had enough time to cast the spell that needed to be chanted.

“Thump!”

The red magic formation spread out with the tap of the staff, and Ming Shu, who was at the side, pulled the two assassins who were chasing after her and rushed into the attack range of Chi Luo.

“Ming Shu, use Instant Slash to chase after their leader. This way, you can escape from Chi Luo’s attack range.”

As for where Instant Slash came from, it could be traced back to the Crystal Core of the Beast of Disaster.

Xu Fan gave the order through the link, and Ming Shu reacted quickly. The sharp saber drew an arc on the ground and flew towards the leader of the group who didn’t seem to be good at speed.

Meanwhile, Chi Luo had also prepared her own spell. She raised her staff, which was flashing with a strong red light, and ruthlessly smashed it on the two guys who were rushing at her in an attempt to interrupt her chanting.

“Pfft-”

Who would have thought that a mage’s staff could deal such powerful physical damage?

Who would have thought that a blunt weapon like a staff would have a 100% chance of triggering the laceration effect after being enchanted?

Even though they had quickly pulled away, the two who had just stepped forward were already covered in lotus-like wounds.

“What’s wrong with this little girl?” The two wounded killers looked at each other with caution in their eyes.

The little girl had suffered a lot of injuries when she fought with them just now, but the strange thing was that the wounds on her body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It wasn’t simple. They had to end this quickly. Thinking of this, they used their speed skills together, drew their dual blades, and launched a sprint. With the speed boost, they could sprint more than ten meters in a second.

It would not be a problem to kill that monster-like girl in an instant.
